Ever tapped a cup and thought, “That could be a beat?” In this session, we’ll explore the art of sampling by recording a real-world sound live in class (yes, an actual cup), and turning it into a full beat using Logic Pro.

Some basic knowledge of music, like what a note or key is, and familiarity with terms like EQ and Reverb, will help you follow along more smoothly. But don’t worry if you’re new to music production! We’ll kick things off with the essentials, so anyone curious and ready to experiment is welcome.

We’ll be using Logic Pro for this session. Please download the trial version in advance so you're ready to dive in.
